Assignee:

Caliper Technologies Corp. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G01N 2726

US Classification:

702 23, 702 22, 702 30, 702 32, 422 63, 422 681

Abstract:

Techniques for analyzing an array of compounds utilizing a high throughput microfluidic system are provided. The system can translate a plurality of multiwell plates through various stations for analysis. Effects to sample compounds can be identified according to deviations in a steady state signal. Also, a user can enter the dwell times for sample compounds and a buffer solution so that the system will alternatingly inject the sample compounds and buffer solution into a microfluidic device according to the specified dwell times.

Inventors:

Steven J. Gallagher - Palo Alto CA, US

Assignee:

Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G01N 21/86

US Classification:

25055929, 2505594

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods and systems for aligning detection optics with a device by obtaining an optical profile of the system and comparing it with a preprogrammed layout of the various optical features of the device. The invention also provides methods of identifying devices by comparing the optical profile with a library of preprogrammed optical profiles of multiple devices.

Filed:

Jun 7, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/811031

Inventors:

Steven J. Gallagher - Palo Alto CA, US

Assignee:

Caliper Life Sciences, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G01N 30/00

US Classification:

702 32

Abstract:

Techniques for displaying chromatographic data using a graphical user interface are provided. Chromatographic separation data that represent a series of measurements for multiple samples at a detection location over time can be displayed on a display device as a series of bands, the bands being arranged to resemble output from an electrophoresis gel. Additionally, the chromatographic separation data may be displayed in the form of measured intensity at the detection location versus time.
